hi

my daughter is 1 week old she weighs 8lbs7ozs and is having 2ozs every 3 hours
she is a right guzzler.
is this a good amount for her to be drinking?

sounds fine to me, no baby is the same and aslong as they are thriving its fine. my 9 week old has 4oz every 3 hours

yep

as much as she wants, when she wants it

remember if she were bf you'd have no idea how many oz she was getting, and it wouldn't matter. She knows best.

I think the ready reckoner is 2oz for every 1lb in weight at that age.
